The Tragedy of Mary Jane Stark

Owe you

When Mj left, Peter had bought Miles and him sandwiches from a near by deli, in his spider suit of course. Making Miles stay on a roof top head by.

"So what's wrong with Mj?" Miles said casually as they ate their sandwiches on the roof tops.

"What do you mean?" Peter asked.

"I don't really know. She gets upset easily and you get really defensive for her when she does. What happened to her?"

"Well she's been through hell Miles. Her mother died when she was 8. She got dropped at her dads when she was 8 and at the time he was to afraid and distrusting of himself to take care of her. He had other people raise her for him. When they moved to New York she lived in Avenger tower with him but he moved her out when Ultron tried to take over out of fear of her getting hurt. But she still doesn't seem to understand that him being absent for most of her life was him trying to protect her. " Peter went on. Miles was watching intensively. Nodding every so often.

"I mean the last two years before the blip was perfect. She had her Dad, who was making an effort to have a relationship with her. Her and I were together. Us, Ned and Michelle would do everything together. When we blipped she watched me dust. She told me that in the moments after I dusted she begged the universe in her head to kill her too. Then we blip back, it feels like five minutes. We had to fight Thanos. She got several good beatings to him but he throw her down. That's when Mr Stark grabbed the stones. She watched him die. You don't understand she stayed with his body for hours after the blip back. Then she left his body just to find out he had a little girl when she was gone. Mary was so sick after her dad died, it hurt so bad to watch the most important person to you, go through so much pain. And there was nothing I could do to help. I would find her curled up on the floor because she couldn't deal with the weight of her grief. Having to watch her struggle to breathe. And there was nothing I could do to stop the pain So I do everything in my power to not make her feel that way. To instantly stop panic attacks from happening when I see the signs. To make the thing that's upsetting her stop. And the worst part is now everyone knows she's Tony's daughter." Peter sighed.

"You want to know what happened in Europe? A psychopath who hated Tony was after power. I made the stupid mistake of telling him my girlfriend was Tony's daughter. That man craved killing her. Telling me how much he always wished he could blow the brains out of a Stark. It was the worst thing I ever heard. I- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to word vomit. I'm just so concerned for her well being." Peter said sighing.

"I- I know what happened in Maple Twine Park." Miles said hesitantly. "She- radiation, what it did to her. SWORD was easy enough to hack into. That's how I really found out you were Spider-Man. I lied cause I didn't want you to arrest me. I thought you worked for SWORD or something. It took me several days but I broke the fire wall and saw the video of Bruce Banner defending her. That's why she has those wristlets on." Miles said looking towards the ground.

"You can never tell her you know." Peter whispered.

"And I won't. She obviously didn't know what was happening. She looked so sick on those videos. So I was wondering if that's why she would get so upset."

"Yeah. She's worried about the glow as we call it. Thinking it's a mind of it's own or something. Like a parasite. But the wristlets are containing it." Peter said taking a bite of his sandwich. He sniffed.

"I like her. She's a good person." Miles said and Peter smiled.

"She sure is." Peter smiled to himself.

"Ya know." Miles said while chewing. "That shirt you were wearing today. It was so awful I can't believe she fell I love with someone wearing that."
